Main Benefits of Probiotics
Support Gut Health
Probiotics promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria, supporting digestion and helping to manage issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, diarrhea, and even ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. They are especially useful in restoring microbiome balance after illness or antibiotic treatment.
Boost Immune Function
Probiotics help train your immune system to respond properly to threats, increase the production of antimicrobial substances, and strengthen the gut barrier to keep pathogens out. Up to 80% of immune cells are tied to the gut, so overall immunity improves with a healthier gut microbiome.
Aid Mental Health
The gut and brain are connected through the gut-brain axis. By balancing gut bacteria, probiotics may help regulate stress hormones and support mood, reducing the effects of anxiety, depression, and neurodegenerative conditions.
Improve Skin Health
Probiotics can help regulate inflammation, benefiting conditions like acne, eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis, and may assist in keeping skin hydrated.
Support Heart Health & Metabolic Balance
Some probiotics help reduce serum cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and may aid in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Evidence also suggests benefits for diabetes and obesity management.
Enhance Nutrient Absorption and Digestive Efficiency
Probiotics help break down proteins and fats in the digestive tract, improving nutrient absorption and potentially increasing energy and strength, important for infants, toddlers, and individuals with weakened digestion.
Prevent Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea
Use of certain probiotics like Lactobacillus rhamnosus, L. casei, and Saccharomyces boulardii is associated with a reduced risk of diarrhea caused by antibiotics.
